“I thought we'd missed the boat because we had two or three really good chances that went begging”

Warren Joyce

Joyce added: “I thought we'd missed the boat because we had two or three really good chances that went begging and it was disappointing in the way we conceded.

"Tottenham are a good side, they had nothing to lose, and they were at home on a night when they could field their best players because their first team wasn't playing. So we did it against the odds really.

"Our players were desperate to win. At 2-2, they weren't thinking 'oh we can maybe go top of the league'.

“They just wanted to win it as a one-off game and they treated it like a cup final. They didn't want to draw the game, they wanted to win it."
